Mark Cavendish was unusually critical of his Omega Pharma-Quick Step team-mates after only managing a fifth-place finish on stage two of the Tirreno-Adriatico in Indicatore, Italy.

Orica-GreenEdge's Matthew Goss took the win after sprint over the final 500metres, but where Cavendish, winner of the yesterday's opening stage, was expected to challenge, he found his path blocked when it mattered the most.

Although he retains his overall lead from yesterday, the Manxman suggested there might need to be a tactical re-think within the team.

'I don't know, really ... I should have been in the front and I come into a bunch of chaos,' he said on velonews.com.

'We come into the last kilometer in 30th position. I'm pretty disappointed in those last guys today, actually. I had a lot of ground to make up.

'I'm quite disappointed with my leadout today. It's not often that I say that, but I think we'll have to have words tonight.'
